BOB
Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community here in Meridian. When things do not turn out as I know they should, there are a thousand options for who or what to blame. My genetics.
My environment growing up.
I wasn't happy and God wants me to be happy.
No one helped me.
Things weren't fair.
There are as many reasons to blame someone else, or something else, as there are people like me — flawed people — who sometimes fail.
The blame game has been going on as long as there have been people. When God confronted Adam and Eve when they were hiding because of their guilt, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. But rather than blame others or circumstances we should strive to do as James the brother of Jesus wrote: “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”
Through honest confession and repentance, we can clear the way to make things better the next time.
